Christmas market in Esslingen

The Esslinger Medieval Market is so unbelievably full of events like almost no other. Medieval spectacles including jesters, minstrels, fire acrobats, vagabonds, and the tradesmen and artists in their Christmas ambience conjure up a mystique in the alleyways and are fascinating for adults and children alike. Just as in ages past, watch craftsmen making baskets, thread, candles, felt objects, carved items and much more at 200 stalls. The medieval experience is completed by the carrying of the torch to the fortress and the romantic concert with medieval music in St. Paul’s Cathedral. Don’t forget the festive Christmas market with all of its delicacies and the many pretty things to marvel at and purchase.
